AMSOIL Engine Masters welcomes these castoff motors with open arms in its vintage class (introduced last year) and competitors were quick to respond with a plethora of wild combinations infused with new life and horsepower.
Ybloke Big M Mercury valve covers cast and produced by my old man! Congratulations to Ted Eaton.... the man knows the way of the Y.
The guy in the red hat behind the man operating the dyno, is the wizard behind the throne. Lonnie Putnam machined that masterpiece. He has several Y Block engineering awards.
Would have loved to hear more about the engine from the owner. What a nice build.
Eaton balancing has a lot of articles on the builds. Although this is a four year old post, it's probably old news now.
That thing belongs in a 1955-57 T-Bird .
He's been scared as hell when he pulled the throttle, what a beast this Y Block is...and that sound my God...that tunnel ram and dual quads are awesome
And I had goose bumps when he started it
it suprising sounds very smooth for having that much power.
This is a true superstock motor these idiots have no idea giving the thumbs down what it takes to get this out of a Y block and not have it scattered everywhere I'm guessing that was 9000 RPM or better at least 8500 there's a lot of Genius in there
6500
Beautiful
that is beyond awesome and beyond legendary a 312 based y block with 603 horsepower and over 550 foot pounds of torque insanely impressive something no piece of shit chevrolet or piece of shit dodge can do on a dyno or say on a dyno that's why ford will always be the kings of true incomparable horsepower hands down enough said
BRAVO Mr. Eaton! Very interesting bypass for that T-stat to electric water pump! I might be 'duplicating' that idea......
Kick ASS!!!!
I wish they had said how many cubic inch's this engine ended up with !
Two goobers thumbs downed this? Must be off brand fans. Lol
ricers......
@@merlemorrison482 Chevtards.
I would love to see them do a Rolls Royce V8, or a Kaiser Flathead straight six.
silverbird58 When was that made?
What's the deal with the hex cap manifold bolts? Won't they break off or strip easy?
Grade 8 hex head bolts would strip out aluminum threads before breaking or stripping.
Jim Piver should see this video, he's dogn the Y block on another video,but in his "nothn matters buy Chevy world",he'd find something to bitch about on this one,too!!!!
That would be cool in a 57 T Bird
LOOKS LIKE IT HAS CROSS BOLT MAINS LIKE FE 427
Is it kinda like a small block Chevy head made to work on this set up?
The Y block from factory has the intake ports horizontally stacked and even an odd design at first it allowed the engine to safety rev to 7 thousand which is wildly overlooked as a great base design with lots of potential
Jon Kaase did that. He worked over a set of aluminium heads and Hi Rise SBC intake.
They are Mummert aluminum Y-Block heads
Is the "block" the only "stock" part???
Cranks a modified stock piece to add stroke. Heads are still stacked ports.
This was a 312?!! Good lord.
Is that an MEL Y-block or the Ford 292-312 variety......pretty good horsepower. How many cubes?
Def not a MEL by the valve covers
@@radioguy1620 Dunno.....aftermarket covers. I owned 2-292's and one 312 and hot rodded them. The heads don't look right for a stock Ford Y-block head and the manifold hold-down bolts don't look to be right. Wish they'd give more info as that is really good HP and I wonder what's been done. Any ideas? I was running an Offenhauser manifold with 3 Strombergs and a bunch of work done on it. I could have never come close to those horses.
@@tomnekuda3818 I dont think they put any MEL s in trucks ,
@@tomnekuda3818 these guys know a lot they are not saying , hard won too Ill bet
@@radioguy1620 Not real life, I guess. You'd never get that tunnel ram into anything. I found an interesting fact the other day....if you slightly modify a SBC ram manifold it will fit 292-312. Something about which head is farther forward....it matches the Chev......Interesting. I think Jon Kaase did it on an Engine Masters competition Y-block. Wish I had the reference.
Would of liked a bit more engine tech info'
I could never run my Yblock that hard, I'm way to cautious..
Ian Knau also mine redlines at like 4K :)
Theese awful engines in stock form surprise didn't explode .oil pump pencil shaft breaks really easy .early years oil problem to rockers .used to pipe between drains left rt heads.had a fleet of them yrs ago.still couple in yard..different cam brgs. Later yrs.
I run mine to 7k all the time. Good strong engines.
@@dondesnoo1771 You really have no idea.
@@mctim64 i had 15 cars with y blocks ford's mercs. Lincoln's 3 ys. In yard 224 .252 292 312. 334 ? 59merc . 430 462 linc. How many do you have
